Good news for those who work or have to go to the center of economic capital. The city of Casablanca is preparing to start the construction of the long-awaited underground parking lot located in the heart of the metropolis, in the Arab League park.
This is a magazine Challenge who reported it, stating that this project called “Arab League Parking, is the subject of a public call by Casa Transport. The market is estimated at 79 million dirhams. He “The goal is to create a two-story parking lot that can accommodate around 500 vehicles. The location, with an area of 7,000 m², is located at the intersection of Boulevard Brahim Roudani and Rue Ali Bnou Abi Taleb.specifies the weekly.
In addition to construction works of all occupations, the project includes surface landscaping. This development includes the creation of green areas as well as the development of access and connections to existing roads, in order to ensure a harmonious integration into the urban environment. “In order to participate in this call for tenders, tenderers must provide a provisional deposit of 790,000 dirhams“, he remarked Challenge.
This infrastructure will build on many others of the same type planned in the city center. Last March, the city announced an underground parking project in the Maârif district. It is located on the site of the former Ibn Tofail College (demolished in 2010), at the intersection of Normandie and Kadi Iass streets. This work covers an area of 18,000 m2. The structure will provide almost 520 parking spaces in this busy commercial district in the heart of Casablanca.
Here, too, the parking lot, built on 2 basement floors, will be the subject of surface development (green areas, squares, footpaths, etc.), including the development of access and connections to existing roads. As a reminder, the municipality is in the process of commissioning a total of 4 new parking lots: Hotel Triangle, Ibnou Tofail (Maârif), Casa-Anfa and Roches Noirs, which offer more than 2,000 additional parking spaces.
The aim of the four projects is to absorb the flow caused by a significant reduction in the supply of surface parking lots, especially after the development of new tram and bus lines. The total amount of the investment is estimated at 400 million dirhams, and it is financed mainly by the municipality (75%) and the Ministry of Transport and Logistics (25%).
